The main objective of this study is to find a proper solution for the cross-flow water cooling tower problem, also to find an empirical correlation's controlling heat and mass transfer coefficients as functions of inlet parameters to the tower. This is achieved by constructing an experimental rig and a computer program. The computer simulation solves the problem numerically. The apparatus used in this study comprises a cross-flow cooling tower. From the results obtained, the 'characteristic curve' of cross-flow cooling towers was constructed. This curve is very helpful for designers in order to find the actual value of the number of transfer units, if the values of inlet water temperature or inlet air wet bulb temperature are changed. Also an empirical correlation was conducted to obtain the required number of transfer units of the tower in hot water operation. Another correlation was found to obtain the effectiveness in the wet bulb operation.

Deterioration of the packing material is a major problem in cooling towers. In this experimental study ceramic tiles were used as a packing material. The packing material is a long life burnt clay, which is normally used as a roofing material. It prevents a common problem of the cooling tower resulting from corrosion and water quality of the tower. In this study, we investigate the use of three different types of ceramic packings and evaluate their heat and mass transfer coefficients. A simple comparison of packing behaviour is performed with all three types of packing materials. The experimental study was conducted in a forced draft cooling tower. The variations in many variables, which affect the tower efficiency, are described.

Tower Packing

As the main heat exchanger for cooling tower, the performance of cooling tower packing will directly affect the cooling effect of the cooling tower. So it is important to develop the new cooling tower packing and test the performance. In this paper, the empirical formula of the new ramp-type packing was deduced based on an experimental study of packing performance. And the author analyse the factor affecting the number of transfer units(NTU) find that the NTU is not only related to gas-water ratio. According to the experimental study, the author deduced the new formula of the NTU and verified that the new formula of NTU is more accurate than the traditional formula Within a certain range of parameters.
